In November 1924, an underwhelming baseball exhibition led by famed New York Giants manager John McGraw took place in London, England. Famed playwright and critic George Bernard Shaw was in attendance and took note. In fact, he took many, many notes. What followed was a scathing article on America's pastime in the Evening Standard. Shaw picks apart the game and makes note of his brief meeting with McGraw.

"I shall never forget that Mr. McGraw, in whom I at last discovered the real and authentic Most Remarkable Man in America... there is no denying that he played us both right off the stage."

All of the above is true.

'The Double Play' is a fictional account of what follows, when 'Little Napoleon' takes umbrage with the satirist and searches London to find him. What the two extraordinary giants weren't prepared for was for their tete-a-tete- to be interrupted by young love.
